CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
I hadn’t realized I didn’t update today. Strange.
Either way, today flew by while I was at work. I even drove to the other office to do a few things like picking up some new receipt printer, except not. That was fun!
I also wanted to include my new YouTube videos. So far I have 54 subscribers and I heart them all.
I had to do the video in two parts, seeing as I get 15 minutes on YouTube at the moment. Wee!
Part 1:
Part 2:
Awww! Susan’s latest post made me all warm inside! I grabbed a few photos from her site from that meet-up over the weekend that I posted about. So I’m here to re-post the photos on my site.
As for what I did in Toronto after the meet up, I ended up doing a huge collective haul (not purchased within one day, or even one month) but I wanted to film another video. It ended up being too long and I had to break it into two parts. Oops. You can view those videos here.
One thing I do have to say though, is that I’m so glad I wore my wool blazer at work this morning, being in a brick or metal buildings during the winter definitely sucks the warm air out of your body. SO COLD. I couldn’t drink enough tea. Moses.
Sneak peak of the (OOTWW) Outfit of the Work Week? I love how I just rhymed unintentionally.
Ok night all!
It’s been about 11 months since I literally stepped inside a LCBO (liquor store) and bought myself a bottle of wine. Last Valentines I remember planning an elaborate meal along with some sweet chocolate treats and wine. now, don’t get me wrong — I have stepped into the LCBO since then. But, I rarely drink wine is all. I’m quite picky when it comes to having one that tastes amazing on my taste buds.
When the boyfriend and I went to British Columbia for Ironman Canada in 2009 (and in 2010, AND planning for 2011!!), we went on a winery tour. I then found out that I’m a fan of wines that are blended. Red wine I think is the one I leaned towards the most, while in BC – but I’m also not going to pass up a good white either.
As i said, I’m not a fan of one or the other, like Chardonnay, or Pinot Noir. But rather a blend of say Merlot and Chardonnay. I really have no idea if those two really go together. but when I’m at the liquor store I go into the fine wine department, or even the spanish wine to find something completely different.
I think it’s so interesting and refreshing to note how different wine affects your taste buds with different foods. Some wines I noticed that the food will taste acidic while others coat your tongue. It’s definitely fun trying out new blends and flavors to go along with the food that you plan on having that evening. it’s an enjoyable experience for me, learning about wine. Did you know that my father is actually into wine making? Probably not. But he is! He has his own wine vats, hoses and corkers and all the do-dad’s that go along with making it. Now his wine, mmmm — so good in my mouth. I wish I had brought some back with me from Christmas. I was just so afraid it’d break in my luggage and stain everything.
What is your favorite wine, and what do you pair it with?
